And I bet wherever he is right now he's probably filled with "Why is this happening to meeeeeeeeeee?" narcissistic self-pity.
This is beyond tragic. What a wonderful young man who was dealt such a cruel twist of fate.
If you haven’t read his book 11 seconds, it is a great hockey read.
You made it Travis, you finally made it!
It’s AZ for us adopted sons.Possibly the best decision they could make going forward with the backlash that would come from having him in the system.
Quick note: Friedman using ARIZ and CAL instead of ARI and CGY for Arizona and Calgary has annoyed me for years and when I asked him about it at the draft last year he laughed
How striking is it that we have the death of a true hockey hero at the same time we are talking about such a depraved soul.
I know which one I want on my team.

PEPA/PIGH was my favorite.
All good here. It was a little nippy this week (46 degrees at sunrise) but having a nice 80 degree afternoon. It has been brutally hot here this summer.That's the state abbreviation
Speaking of, how are things in sunny AZ?
I’m still trying to get that ticket for you but my two ticket people both got whacked. Stay tuned..

I'd imagine so. That's the one I expected to happen first. Was surprised AZOA took that step.

Another beautiful soul passed away recently in Joey Moss
Mitch Miller probably would have bullied him

WHAT? You want this to be the NBA, where we know the winner before the season even starts? You can’t use a freak occurrence/event like Covid as an excuse either. That doesn’t count.

Ya it’s a weird kind of in betweenNot entirely soft either.
It's a "semi" salary cap, if you will
but the nature of basketball is what tends to lead to predictable champions. Not the league’s system.
I agree with @Draft Guru. I’ve been pounding the table for massive changes to the salary cap for a while. I think the fact that the cap is so suffocating kills player movement, and therefore makes the NHL a lot less exciting.
like a 4 year 4M per contract is just IMMOVABLE in the current system. It’s ridiculous. GMs should t be punished for signing a player and that player becoming shit. There should be more options to open up cap space than expensive buyouts that still take up significant cap. Like, GMs should be able to have SOME sort of leeway.
i know it’ll never happen but i think it would improve the league for the better if they added like, 1 amnesty buyout per offseason, for example.

It’s both imo. Hockey is the most random of the North American major professional sports AND has the most parity. Basketball is less luck-based than hockey, but their lack of a hard salary cap definitely contributes to them seemingly having little parity.
